  text: We investigated temporal changes in hybridization and introgression between
    native red deer (Cervus elaphus) and invasive Japanese sika (Cervus nippon) on
    the Kintyre Peninsula, Scotland, over 15 years, through analysis of 1513 samples
    of deer at 20 microsatellite loci and a mtDNA marker. We found no evidence that
    either the proportion of recent hybrids, or the levels of introgression had changed
    over the study period. Nevertheless, in one population where the two species have
    been in contact since ∼1970, 44% of individuals sampled during the study were
    hybrids. This suggests that hybridization between these species can proceed fairly
    rapidly. By analysing the number of alleles that have introgressed from polymorphic
    red deer into the genetically homogenous sika population, we reconstructed the
    haplotypes of red deer alleles introduced by backcrossing. Five separate hybridization
    events could account for all the recently hybridized sika-like individuals found
    across a large section of the Peninsula. Although we demonstrate that low rates
    of F1 hybridization can lead to substantial introgression, the progress of hybridization
    and introgression appears to be unpredictable over the short timescales.
